Cape Verdean Associations in the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon: their role in integration Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE SELF-HELP ORGANIZATIONS COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS INTEGRATION SETTLEMENT ASSISTANCE The aims of this article are twofold: first, to overview the Cape Verdean associations in the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon (MAL), and second, to analyse the views held by the associations in relation to the social, cultural, professional and residential integration of their community. Considering the fact that these institutions play an important role in assisting the members of the community, it is essential to characterise the associations, the activities that they carry out as well as the problems they often encounter. In addition to these objectives, this study gathers the views of the representatives of the associations in relation to the difficulties most often felt by the community when it comes to their integration, the role played by the associations in facilitating the integration process as well as their opinions in relation to public support systems and other mechanisms. Finally the paper makes suggestions that could contribute to bettering the conditions of the Cape Verdean community in the MAL. 2026-09-30T11:48:24Z Text Online resource 10.25446/oxford.33354102.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Cape_Verdean_Associations_in_the_Metropolitan_Area_of_Lisbon_their_role_in_integration/33354102 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
